It Is Just A Squeeze


I have heard people say, hard situations are reasons why people

 opt for bad acts and it is like saying, hard squeeze on an orange

 is what make it bring lemon juice; no matter how hard an

 orange get squeezed, it still brings out orange juice.

People bring forth from their source what they really are no matter what situation.

Lance Armstrong 'Admits' Doping

Aaron Swartz, the brilliant young software programmer and Internet activist who inspired awe and reverence from leading figures in the technology world, died in his Brooklyn apartment on Friday, his family said in a statement. New York City’s chief medical examiner ruled the death a suicide by hanging. Swartz was 26 years old.

A passionate advocate for social justice, Swartz founded the group Demand Progress, which played a crucial role in convincing the U.S. Congress to back down from controversial anti-piracy legislation last year.

“Aaron’s insatiable curiosity, creativity, and brilliance; his reflexive empathy and capacity for selfless, boundless love; his refusal to accept injustice as inevitable—these gifts made the world, and our lives, far brighter,” his family said in a statement. “Aaron’s commitment to social justice was profound, and defined
